SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Nature of Business
Webdigs, Inc. (“the Company”), a Delaware corporation, became a public company in October 2007 after a reverse merger transaction with Select Video, Inc. which was incorporated in Delaware in 1994. Our business is dedicated to web-assisted residential real estate brokerage services. This is done through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Webdigs, LLC, and Iggyshouse.com, Inc.
After our sale of the Webdigs tradename on March 16, 2012, all of the Company’s remaining real estate brokerage operations are operated under the name of Red Bear Realty. The Company offers rebates to its customers of up to 1% of the sales price of the home they purchase through us and offers listing services below the price of traditional full-service brokerages as well. We do not mandate that our real estate agents charge a pre-determined price for listing a seller’s home, but believe that all of our agents offer listings to their customers for less than other traditional brokerages, who we believe most often charge 5-7% for listing services.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 include the accounts of Webdigs, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Webdigs, LLC, which includes the wholly-owned subsidiary of Iggyshouse.com, Inc which has no current activity. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011 because realization of those assets is not more likely than not.
The Company will recognize a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and, accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties has been recorded at April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting standards issued or effective during the six months ended April 30, 2012 that had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. |
